After an arson fire ripped through a loading dock at the Food Bank for Monterey County, the facility is set to reopen its doors Monday.

"The outpouring has been overwhelming and just significant, and so what it has enabled us to do is to get back up and running as quickly as possible," Food Bank Executive Director Melissa Kendrick said.

"We have resumed services," Kendrick said. "We are servicing all of our direct distribution sites, all of our agencies are able to shop, but on a very limited basis, but right now, we are offering the basics."

Kendrick said the road to recovery had a hefty price tag, with damage totaling roughly $1 million.

But thanks to hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of donations, the loading dock has been repaired, the warehouse has been redone and the food is coming.

After several weeks of extreme cleaning, the main warehouse is going to be back up and running and full of food in a week's time.

The Food Bank plans to buy four new delivery trucks in June, which cost about $130,000 each. The purchase and many others is made possible by the help of the community.

"I want to continue to thank everyone," Kendrick said. "We live in an incredibly generous community, and we are touched every day by how much people are willing to do for us."

The Food Bank asked that people wait to donate food for another week while they stock the warehouse.

As for the fire investigation, the arsonist who caused the blaze is still on the loose and Salinas police are looking for him.

Police have no leads on the crime and ask that anyone with information come forward.
